A Jaw-Dropping Stat

We've all heard Doug Collins talk about how he doesn't want his team to lose two in a row on their home court. Elton Brand has talked about it. Andre Iguodala has talked about it. Doug even talked about it yesterday. I always thought that was a great way to look at things, but I didn't realize how serious he was. Take a look at the schedule, the last time this team lost two games in a row on their home floor was November 17th.

A few simply questions with difficult answers to kick off the Friday/Gameday conversation:

Which Sixers team do you expect to see tonight? The team that beat Chicago, in Chicago then rolled over Houston and New Jersey only a week ago? Or the team that's lost three straight and looked bad doing it since?

Has this three-game losing streak been a direct result of not having Lou? If they have Lou, do they go through the prolonged offensive droughts we've seen over the past couple of games?

What happened to the Spencer Hawes that was actually contributing something for a couple of weeks and what can we do to get him back?

Evan Turner tonight, over/under 15 points?

Jrue Holiday tonight, over/under 40 minutes?

Reggie Evans tonight, over/under 2 balls fondled?

Brief preview coming later this afternoon, then the game thread, then the tip. Have at it in the comments, fellas.
